Has anyone tried to install this on their Vibrant? I have a couple friends with Incredible's who are using it and love it but it doesn't seem to want to work properly on the Vibrant. The apk installs fine but the text on the keys is really small, I wonder if its a font issue? Any advice would be great.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
same thing I notice I'm also wondering if there's any fix cause right now I'm just using swype
[Vibrant General] landale:
I am guessing it's a font thing but I just downloaded Smartkeyboard Pro from the market. It's not free but it's the only keyboard I have found with speed as good as the Droid X keyboard but it has even more features. Totally worth the $2.50 it cost.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Cool I will try it
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Forgive me for asking, but:

Where do you find this file, and how do you install it to the device?

I assume it's not on the market? The only thing I could find was some spam posting where some dude is saying he'll email you the link.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
Well Htc just called me and asked me about my phone, :D i had nothing bad to say about it, so i just said the truth!!!

they asked me what was wrong with my device that i had exchange, I told them my 4G stop working after the Ota:p lol i was worry they were going to ask me, did you rooted your phone?? lolz,
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
you should have just told them you wanted the one with the more geebees lol.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
he asked me what you like the most about your phone>>??? i told him, That it has an app that prints money, lolz, he was about to laugh,then he was like what you mean sir, lol, i told him that it was money well spent, but he knew what i was talking about

Oh boy, I can't wait until HTC calls me.

I'll tell them that all 3 had really bad like leakage and the screens were coming up, mine sounded like a fking kazoo in the speaker whenever I was talking to somebody and the other one just restarted randomly, and the 3rd one just had like leakage.

Other than that, sprint needs to credit my AMEX card back $956...they've had the phones back for almost a week now!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlewis95:
Hey guys,

Ive tried a couple rooting methods for my evo and any time i try to do anything with the PC36IMG.zip file on the phone it says:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

I saw that this could be caused by not correctly using mtd-eng.img and flash_image. But if i try to do:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

I get a permission denied error.

I am on Software 1.47.651.1.

Help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regulator207:
looks like you ran the update before rooting. try the simple root methods for 1.47. or unrevoked method.

and please read the rules before posting. thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlewis95:
what do you mean by read the rules? which ones were broken? i tried both of those methods and havent gotten anything to work. thats why i posted this to begin with. im trying to get help because NONE of the methods will work for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothiclovechild:
I have the same problem... i have tried all the fixes in the OTA simple root thread and still haven't gotten anywhere
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngdhillon:
Have you gone through all 4 steps SUCCESSFULLY? meaning did they complete...it will have the old version error if you didn't get all 4 steps in simplerootota correctly...i had the same problem, and once i got all 4 steps completed, it recognized the pc36img.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothiclovechild:
i cant get past step 4. i get a permission denied error for flash_image. i have not found a solution to this yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothiclovechild:
ok so i got root to work. what i had to do was enable wi-fi so i think its a problem with the flash hack
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngdhillon:
wow that's something new:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gothiclovechild:
yeah i know it was stupid simple and i shouldn't have needed to post about it. as soon as i did it worked for me though. have you tried with the wi-fi on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngdhillon:
yea that's funny because i've rooted with wifi on and off the whole time while it rooted...it must have been something else...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbieBot:

http://www.robots-everywhere.com/ has source code, schematics, and kits. Sorry for the spammy post, but I can't describe this better than the video can...

This will work with a g1, g2, motorola droid and likely anything in between (1.5 minimum). The bluetooth version doesn't need a rooted phone but the com port version does.

hello... i make update my HTC TOUCH HD from official site (www.htc.com) and now the phone not working...nothing...

i try to format with ssl and hspl but nothing...

what i make????

please help:)
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
If you flashed it with an official ROM from HTC I'd send it back to them, I should imagine its still under warranty (2 years on Touch HD I think). Email their tech support and see what they say
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Can you access bootloader? If so, all is not lost and you should be able to load HSPL or USPL on device.

Try following this guide to do so
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spaine:
My SGS phone app has this button to make a video call, and I'm totally curious about this functionality. I haven't seen anyone posting on the forums about it, and it's barely mentioned in the phone's user manual. Anyone successfully placed video calls with the default phone app?

Anyone know how it works -- what protocols/technologies?

Does it rely on your carrier having implemented something in order to work, or does it work over the internet?

Does it only work to other SGS phones, or can it work with other phones or video conferencing applications?

BTW, my SGS came from SingTel and is currently running JG1, but the option to make video calls was present in the original firmware, too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if you are in USA or Canada, you can forget about it.

our networks currently does allow / provide that feature.

if you are in Europe or Asia, you should have no problem using it with another person that has the same feature on their phone.

there are 3rd party applications that uses Video Call of IP phone, google it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
Just tried it, videocalled my girlfriend on her Nokia E52, worked splendidly :)

Hah Apple - videocall just other apple-people? Lame.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spaine:
this sounds like functionality supported by carriers outside the US... (I'm in the US.) so I'm curious, how do you establish the call? Do you simply dial her regular mobile phone number and press the video call button and then everything else just works? in other words, no typing in IP addresses, no logging in to 3rd party services like Skype, nothing other than simply dialing a mobile phone number?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darnap:
I can confirm that it works quite well. Most European carriers have been offering this feature for years (I could place video calls with my old Nokia N80 4 years ago), and sometimes they don't cost extra if you call a subscriber of the same carrier.

You just select video call instead of normal call, and if the other phone supports it you'll get video, as long as the other person chooses to enable it. I've tried a few calls with the SGS and I've been told that the quality of the received image is pretty good.

If the other phone doesn't support it, or is not under 3G cover you'll get a 'video call currently not possible' error.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
darnap said it quite well :)

Remember trying in on my old N95 many years ago, but didn't see any real use for it :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
Yeah I had this on my NEC E313 phone like 5 years ago, curiously we somehow managed to do it over the phone network, on phones that are like pocket calculators now. I wonder if Steve really had to swallow his pride when he made such a big thing of it, and it only working over WiFi.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Like others I tried it a few years ago, simply dialing the number and choosing video call. However, the price of video calling was like 4, 5 or 6 times the price of a normal call(I forget the pricing, but it was quite a difference)... I've only used it like 3-4 times, and that was just for me or others to try it out. I don't know, nor have I heard of, anyone who uses it on a regular basis. It's just a "Ooh! Shiny feature! Must try it out" kinda thing. Gets old REAL fast imo.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
my old HTC Athena can do it, i'm surprised Windows Mobile actually made that work :p

again it only works in Europe and Asia AFAIK, when i try it in America it doesn't do anything
[Galaxy S I9000 General] navmanyeah:
America doesn't have video calling yet? Sheesh, even Austraila has had it for years! Although it costs almost a dollar a minute to use...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Be aware that Fring and Skype are fighting each other so they can't call each other.

Also iPhone 4 can video call any other phones such as SGS too, using applications such as Fring.

Actually, their video call method is way more superior to ours. They don't need cell minutes which means they can do video call even on an airplane. The performance is also superior. I wish some Android developers come up with a video call application using that protocol soon. I also like to see video call application using thus protocol on desktop computers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] systoxity:
wont be superior for long unless said person is grandfathered into an unlimited data plan. However, you could still video call with wifi when its available for no cost. I have to add that skype is coming to android later this year and apparently its going to be the best thing in video calling. I hope they deliver.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yup! it sucks to live in America... we always get the oldest technology here... they dare to call themselves "1st" world countries... :rolleyes:

for the past 10~20 years we've always had the junk phones from Europe/Asia basically anything that was new for you guys 5 years ago, is "new" in America.

it was not until iphone launched, that people realized all the stuff they've been missing.

I've been playing with smartphones 5~10 years before the iphone band wagon started, it's funny that people never realized that the features in iphone was looooooooong available on phones that were already available elsewhere in the world.

anyways Amen, finally carriers are starting to bring in the latest on smartphones to America

unfortunately like CARS, they are crippled to fit the "American's Needs" most Japanese import cars are crippled if you compare them to the same car made in Japan.

another example our SGS i9000 phones, the American version is crippled as well... sigh...

anyways.... i'll rather move to anywhere in Europe instead, unfortunately work are the cost of living are more expensive in the UK, maybe I should try Spain or Italy, or France :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] systoxity:
Good Riddance.. .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
I know, my point was that with all other phones you don't need third party applications such as Fring.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Not true.

Everyone that you calls would have made their own decisions on whther they would use Skype or Fring. So if you want to call them, you have no choice but to also have to use the same third party applications such as Fring or whatever one which is compatible with the other party's. If you're really into video calls, I suspect you need to have every popular third party applications installed on your own phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
What? No.. If I'd want to videocall any one of my friends that don't have an iPhone, we've wouldn't have needed any third party application such as Fring or Skype - that's my point.. If I were to videocall friends with iPhone 4, we'd have to use Fring/Skype.

This is at least as long we're here in Europe, where videocalls have been something "all" mobile phones and networks have had for years.

Your last sentence I'm agreeing fully with though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darnap:
The point is that videocalling is a basic UMTS feature, so you don't need any extra application to use it. Most UMTS phones support it out of the box as it is a standard, so they are all compatible across vendors and models. The iPhone (even the iPhone 4) is one of the few phones that lacks the UMTS video calling capability, so it needs a third party app to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
You're right here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sgstom:
Dear Developers,

I've downloaded the Galaxy S Kernel sources (2.6.29) as provided by Samsung. I compiled them using the included build_kernel.sh script. As toolchain I use CodeSourcery 2009q3 as suggested in the Readme of the kernel. The final zImage of the kernel in arch/arm/boot is about 2.6MB.

To my surprise this is a lot smaller than the kernel image that can be found in official ROM images. It is also considerable smaller than the kernel posted here that includes the EXT3/4 filesystem.

I therefore wanted to ask all those of you who already built a custom kernel: Did you use some oder kernel sources? Another toolchain? Or most likely a different kernel .config (I'm using the default config as specified in build_kernel.sh)?

Thank you,

Tom

Okay so whenever i've got my HD2 connected to my Windows 7 PC, it refuses to send picture messages and doesn't even bother to start the connection.

I've already configured WMDC to "allow data connections while connected via USB" and it's made no difference :/

Is there a setting on my phone i can change? It's really annoying me now!

[HD2 General] Vampire2800:
There should be a setting in Activesync on your phone. At least I think I remember there being one there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
OH... and PS... forgot to mention that I just got a new battery this week thinking maybe the battery was just getting old and bad. obviously, no such luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gautch:
I had the same issues till I flashed a SuperD, then everything was fine. I just recently flashed the Froyo from Cyanogen and its like it fixed everything and I'm on a brand new device (knock on wood)!

How old is your G1? Do we know if there are issues with the first run out of the factory? Is that even an issue?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
i got the g1 last july. so it was already out for a while at that point. it was new from a store though. i suppose there could be something actually wrong with the phone itself, but i don't know. i was thinking of trying the cyanogen froyo but because its not a stable release yet i figured it would be just this bad or worse...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
I promise cm5.0.8 has wonderful battery life when no custom apps are installed and not on any network..

so the question is what is your phone doing, and ought it be doing what it is doing.

There are some nice built in tools for this

Applications->running services

And

Applications -> manage applications (check out the filter in the menu from that screen)

You may be surprised by the apps the think they need to constantly have a service running for some painful trivial job the android API has better interfaces for.. if in addition to that you don't need the app uninstall it.

Otherwise experiment with comp cache and lock launcher in memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
another example, as i was reading this i was on the phone and i just finished the call and hung up, and i was previously in text messages, it took 12 seconds for my text messages to come up. thats just insane...

as for running services:

- GTalkService <--- I use GTalk all the time

- GenieRefresh Service (Restarting) <--- weird considering I disabled this widget, although I'd LIKE to have it back

- Maps FriendsAppWidgetUpdater (Restarting) <--- never used this in my life

- NewsRob UnreadWidgetProvidor (Restarting) <--- never used the widget before (as a matter of fact, you have to pay to use the widget and i have the free version... weird)

-Twidroyd Background Service <--- understandable, I use this constantly

- AKNotepad Snaptic Update (Restarting) <---- umm... I use this all the time but I don't know why a notepad program would need an updater service running... interesting...

- Swype <---- gotta have that :-)

- CM Updater (Restarting) <--- Don't really think that needs to be on all the time. Can easily manually refresh that...

So that's it. I didn't realize this was included now. Very cool. On older roms I had to use task managers which don't seem to really work. I'm going to stop everything except twidroyd, gtalk and swype right now and see how that does... at the bottom it says Avail: 3.2MB+0.00B in 0 ... Other: 55MB in 4 ... While typing that the Maps FriendsAppWidget just popped back up... I'm gonna see if theres a setting...

In the meantime, does any of this give you any ideas? thank you so much for the advice. Also what does (Restarting) mean?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
oh and i have compcache not checked and launcher in memory IS checked... i just tried turning on the compcache option... lets see how that goes...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
ok so...

now that i know about those things that were running, i stopped all the ones i don't need, and also went into the apps to see if there was any options for turning off automatic updates, background syncing, etc etc for those things... i'm gonna charge my phone while getting ready to go out and then we'll see how it goes throughout the evening. lets see if i make it home with more than 20% battery left (i'll be gone for like 5 hours). if so then we're on to something here :-) still i find it weird that i can't have a few widgets loaded. but whatever, i'll take a smoothly running phone that lasts all day and i just have to click on icons to get to stuff any day... thanks for the help, i'll let you know how its going tomorrow.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
the next day

ok so i tried the compcache and keep launcher in memory options last night, messing with both settings. i found that every possible combination became very unstable other than the one i already had (which was compcache off and launcher in memory on). after trying to shut excessive running services like i mentioned yesterday, and also restarting the phone and then shutting them again, i got NO difference in performance OR battery life...

so back to square one... any ideas guys?

thanks so much for any help you can give me. i really really appreciate it.

As far as I can tell, the built-in camera app only lets you use the front facing camera to take still photos, and not to record videos. (Seems odd since the front facing camera is presumably designed to support video for video real time video calls...) Anyone know how you can record video with the front facing camera?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you'll probably need a 3rd party software to use that camera for Self video blogging.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bhonka:
Unless they add it later down the track.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Fring allows you to use that camera for video calls. But yes, Its just a matter of someone developing a app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vamp6x6x6x:
has anyone found or made a app for this yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
I wouldnt bother to be honest it is a pile of wank. But anyways there is an app ive seen before that can record via the normal camera and records you through the front camera as you record.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vamp6x6x6x:
Do you remember what the app is called, because I have a Galaxy Tab and my theory is: if it works for Galaxy S, it will work for the Tab.

[G1 General] MV10:
Last night I went through the process of rooting my G1, installing DangerSPL, and finally loading up CM6-RC1. Today I started to update my wife's phone using the same process, and even the same files (which were still on my PC). Before going to the Danger/CM5 instructions, I started by following the Wiki instructions for downgrading. Reverting to RC29 (DREAIMG.nbh) went fine.

The instructions say the next step is to install Cupcake. So I format the card and copy update.zip over, power down, and restart with Home + End. I get the /!\ screen, I type ALT+S, and it starts the loading process.

But instead of finishing, it gets about halfway through the progress bar then goes back to the /!\ screen.

If I reboot the phone, the phone works properly so it isn't bricked or anything. I tried reformatting, I've re-downloaded update.zip... does the same thing every time. What's wrong?

Also... do I actually need Cupcake to load DangerSPL and CM6?
[G1 General] MV10:
Ah, it appears Cupcake gives me the newer 2.x radio, is that right?

I see the newer radio linked from the DangerSPL page in the Wiki, I guess I'll try loading that...

Edit: Didn't work. Recovery mode seems OK with the 2.x radio ZIP but afterwards fastboot still shows radio 1.22.x.

Oh well.
[G1 General] MV10:
It appears I have bigger issues. The Recovery screens (the regular /!\ version and Amon_Ra if I bother to go that far) always show the "E:Can't read MISC:" error, and so far I haven't found a clear explanation of how/why that happens -- or more importantly, how to fix it.
